Wahala no dey finish for Enugu oh! This morning, flight activities for Akanu Ibiam International Airport jammed to a standstill as aviation workers dey protest the Federal Government own wahala wey dem call concession plan.
As soon as the protest waka enter the airport, na so everything scatter. Dem aviation workers, wey dey follow the unions wey dey work with Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), don vex well well. Dem dey complain say government no gree carry dem along for dis concession matter, and e fit affect their oga jobs and welfare.
Wetin come pain dem pass be say, dem hear say dem don concession the airport to some big man wey dey connected to one South-East governor and one billionaire from Anambra. Dem no like am at all, because nobody don talk wetin go happen to the current staff. The way e be now, na just rumors dey fly everywhere.
According to insiders wey sabi the gist, dem don try meet with government officials and even the supposed private operators, but anytime dem talk, e dey be like say dem no wan answer the questions full ground. “All we know na say dem talk say full concession go start for two years, but dem never talk how we go fit secure our jobs,” one source yan.
This morning, e come be like say wahala don pass garri as dem receive order from the national office of their union to shut down all flight operations. As dem do am, passengers wey dey inside the terminal come dey ask questions, as many of dem don turn stranded without where to go. Flights to and from Lagos and Abuja don also cancel, wahala dey everywhere!
Enugu Air don talk say, “Our flights from Enugu dey experience delay because of the ongoing protest,” but sharp-sharp dem dey reach out to affected passengers. Video wey don enter social media show as people dey argue with airport officials and dey complain say communication no dey clear.
For now, e be like say federal authorities still dey keep mute on when everything go return to normal. Passengers and stakeholders dey look for updates like small children dey wait for Christmas. Hope say them go resolve this matter quick before more wahala go show face.
